Chapter Summaries

As Hongjun preached at the Purple Firmament Palace, Yang Mei begged Bai Yu and the Heavenly Dao to give him a chance to attain the Dao. Bai Yu refused to interfere, and the Heavenly Dao turned its attention to Yang Mei, whom it had begun to view as a dangerous oversight in its plans.

• Bai Yu chose not to interfere, unwilling to risk entangling himself in the Primordial World's karma for Yang Mei's sake.
• The Heavenly Dao considered Yang Mei a fish that had slipped through its net, since its script allowed only Hongjun to attain Hunyuan.
• The Heavenly Dao recognized that if Yang Mei attained Hunyuan, it could suppress him but not kill him.

Hongjun’s lecture on the Daluo Golden Immortal realm let the listeners comprehend the Great Daos more quickly, while their Dao resonance helped Hongjun in return. Houtu could not understand the lecture and worried that her dim primordial spirit would make her stand out among the enthralled listeners.

• Hongjun’s lecture filled Purple Firmament Palace with the resonance of the three thousand Great Daos, helping the listeners comprehend their own Great Daos.

• Houtu’s primordial spirit was dimmed by the Earthly Fiend Turbid Qi absorbed during her gestation, making her unable to follow the lecture.
• The narration explained that Ancestral Witches had primordial spirits and Origin Great Daos, but their essence overwhelmed their Qi and spirit.

After Hongjun finished teaching in the Purple Firmament Palace, his listeners bowed to him and helped establish his status as Dao Ancestor. Attention then turned to the six special seats, where Zhunti’s shameless tactics had displaced Hong Yun and left the reason Kunpeng’s seat was now occupied by Zhunti unclear.

• Hongjun taught for a thousand years, and Houtu struggled to understand the Dao because of her Ancestral Witch nature.
• After the listeners recovered from their meditation, they bowed to Hongjun, and fortune gathered around him as Dao Ancestor.

• The Three Pure Ones claimed three cushions, Kunpeng secured another, and Nuwa took the last after Di Jun and Tai Yi hesitated.
• The chapter revealed that Zhunti was sitting on Kunpeng’s cushion and that Yuanshi had also played a part.

• Yang Mei began attaining the Dao in the East Sea, and the presence of the Space Great Dao spread throughout the Primordial World.
• Bai Yu, Hongjun, and the beings of the Primordial World noticed Yang Mei's breakthrough, while the Three Pure Ones and Nuwa reflected on their progress after Hongjun's sermon.
• Yang Mei successfully attained the Dao, becoming another high-ranking administrator bound to the Primordial World by the Heavenly Dao.

After attaining Hunyuan, Yang Mei released a thousand years of pent-up frustration by unleashing his Sage pressure across the Primordial World, then refrained from attacking Hongjun. Both Sages sought to grow stronger by comprehending multiple Origin Great Daos, with Yang Mei choosing the Time Great Dao and Hongjun continuing his own cultivation while spreading the Dao.

• Yang Mei unleashed his Sage pressure across the Primordial World for a thousand years, leaving all living beings prostrate beneath it.
• Yang Mei considered beating Hongjun but held back to preserve their relationship as colleagues.
• Yang Mei decided to comprehend the Time Great Dao and planned to use a high-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure he had obtained from the Time Demon God.

• Hongjun continued spreading the Dao throughout the Primordial World while pursuing further progress as a Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal.

Hongjun chose to comprehend the Destiny Great Dao, while Yang Mei opened a hidden Great Thousand World in the Outer Chaos; together their worlds formed a defensive barrier around the Primordial World. After the Three Thousand Guests of Zixiao Palace returned to seclusion, Zhunti and Jieyin prepared to continue repairing the Western Continent’s earth veins.

• Hongjun rejected the Slaughter Great Dao and chose the Destiny Great Dao, hoping his great fortune would help him comprehend it.
• Yang Mei opened a Great Thousand World in the Outer Chaos, concealed by spatial power and positioned alongside Hongjun’s world as a barrier to the Primordial World.
• The Three Thousand Guests of Zixiao Palace entered seclusion to digest what they had gained, and the Primordial World quieted down.
• Zhunti and Jieyin returned to Mount Sumeru instead of immediately repairing the Western Continent’s earth veins.
• Hongjun had repaired the important medium and large earth veins but left the countless smaller ones for the Western Continent’s inhabitants, including Zhunti and Jieyin, to restore.

Houtu returned to Pangu Hall frustrated after learning in Purple Firmament Palace that she could not comprehend the Origin Great Dao. She told the other Ancestral Witches about the gathering and realized their inherited body-refining path offered no known method for attaining the Dao.

• Houtu returned to Pangu Hall in low spirits, and the other Eleven Ancestral Witches gathered around her, fearing someone had bullied her.
• Houtu reassured her elder brothers that no one had harmed her and recounted what she had seen and heard in Purple Firmament Palace.
• Houtu described the powerful innate divine beings she had encountered, including the Three Pure Ones, Kunpeng, Zhen Yuanzi, Di Jun, Tai Yi, and Zhunti.
• Houtu explained that she was distressed because she could not understand the Origin Great Dao and recognized how the Ancestral Witches' ignorant primordial spirits hindered comprehension.
• The chapter explained that the Ancestral Witches followed a difficult body-refining path, but neither Pangu's inheritance nor the Primordial World provided a method for attaining the Dao through the physical body.

The chapter explained how Essence, Qi, and Spirit formed three cultivation paths, and why spirit refinement was most popular for comprehending the origin great Dao. It ended by noting that all three paths could lead to proving Dao, though the Primordial World lacked a method for proving Dao through the flesh.

• The chapter described how cultivators with strong innate foundations could cultivate Essence, Qi, and Spirit together, while ordinary beings often had to choose a path.
• It contrasted spirit refinement, which prioritized realm and comprehension, with Qi refinement, which prioritized cultivation attainment, and body tempering, which prioritized physical strength.
• The chapter explained that body tempering consumed enormous resources and was especially uncommon among Daluo Golden Immortals, while the Twelve Ancestor Witches pursued it because their primordial spirits were benighted.
• It established that comprehending the origin great Dao was essential to proving Dao, making spirit refinement the most popular path across the heavens and myriad worlds.
• The chapter concluded that cultivators could prove Dao through Qi, Spirit, or Essence, but the Primordial World had no known method for proving Dao through the flesh.

Houtu remained determined to attend the Sage’s second lecture and ask whether he could help the Ancestral Witches overcome their clouded primordial spirits and incomplete path to physical Dao attainment. After the lecture, the three thousand guests returned to seclusion, while Bai Yu reflected on the Primordial World’s cultivation system and the importance of comprehending the Origin Great Dao.

• Houtu explained her worries to the Ancestral Witches, who said they were accustomed to the difficulty of comprehending the Origin Great Dao and had little hope the Sage could help.
• Houtu recognized that Pangu’s body-refining technique lacked its final method and that the Ancestral Witches could otherwise only reach the pinnacle of the Daluo Golden Immortal realm.
• The Ancestral Witches supported Houtu’s wish to attend the Sage’s second lecture and ask him about the problem.
• After the Sage’s lecture ended, the three thousand Purple Firmament Palace guests returned to their sacred grounds to digest their gains and improve their realms.
• Bai Yu considered how cultivation resources were abundant in the Primordial World, but comprehension of the Origin Great Dao mattered most, and the world’s cultivation system combined Essence, Qi, and Spirit.

The chapter explained the limits of the Ancestral Witches’ Body-Refining Dao and contrasted Dijiang’s bodily control of space with Yang Mei’s mastery of the Space Great Dao. As the second Dao lecture began, Kunpeng watched Zhunti with murderous resentment but still had no chance to attack him and Jieyin.

• The chapter explained that Dijiang relied on his body to wield the Space Great Dao, while Yang Mei could control space directly.
• The chapter described how the Twelve Ancestor Witches’ fused Pangu Blood Essence and Turbid Qi left them dependent on the Body-Refining Dao and without a clear path to attaining the Dao.
• Three thousand Innate Beings gathered outside the Purple Firmament Palace for the second Dao lecture, with newcomers filling the places of absent guests.
• Zhunti arrived with Jieyin and began calling out to friends, while Kunpeng stared at Zhunti with killing intent.
• Kunpeng recalled ambushing Zhunti and Jieyin but refrained from attacking because they were always together, leaving him frustrated and resentful.

Di Jun and Tai Yi planned to build a force by recruiting powerful innate divine beings, including Kunpeng, Fuxi, and Nuwa, to gather resources and fortune. The chapter explained how fortune and merit mattered to beings within the Primordial World, and how Hongjun controlled the allocation of the remaining Sage seats.

• Zhunti noticed Kunpeng might attack, so he drew Jieyin away and started chatting with the Three Pure Ones.
• Di Jun and Tai Yi planned to recruit Kunpeng, Fuxi, Nuwa, and other guests after the sermon, first building relationships before presenting their venture.
• Di Jun and Tai Yi aimed to gather resources and fortune, which mattered greatly to Daluo Golden Immortals and beings who had not transcended the Primordial World.
• The chapter explained that Bai Yu had no use for Heavenly Dao merit or Primordial World fortune because he controlled the Destiny Great Dao, while Hongjun could use fortune and merit to help comprehend it.
• The chapter described how Zhunti and Jieyin gained the Western Continent's two Sage seats, while Hongjun kept the final two seats unallocated.

Hongjun explained why he allocated four Sage seats to the Three Pure Ones and Nuwa, then gave two more to Zhunti and Jieyin to repay his lingering karmic debt to the Western Continent. He clarified the distinctions between Hunyuan, Heavenly Dao Sainthood, and Heavenly Dao Representative status, while noting that Yang Mei remained an anomaly without a defined position.

• Hongjun considered the Three Pure Ones and Nuwa destined to become Sages and allocated them four Sage seats.
• Hongjun gave two Sage seats to Zhunti and Jieyin to settle his karmic debt to the Western Continent, leaving them to repay the overpayment themselves.
• Hongjun explained that merit and fortune could address karmic debt, but his subordination to Heavenly Dao prevented him from simply severing karma.
• Hongjun distinguished attaining Hunyuan through mastering a Great Dao from becoming a Heavenly Dao Saint by fusing with Purple Qi of Hongmeng.
• Hongjun explained that he had earned the Dao Ancestor post through Heavenly Dao's recognition and preaching, while Yang Mei still lacked a specific position.

Yang Mei sought the Jade Plate of Creation to improve his Dao comprehension, but the Heavenly Dao ignored his request and Hongjun refused to lend him the treasure. Hongjun planned to master a second Origin Great Dao so he could surpass Yang Mei, leaving Yang Mei without a way to borrow the plate.

• Yang Mei attended Hongjun's second sermon and hoped to discuss the Dao and obtain a Jade Plate of Creation.
• Yang Mei reasoned that the Heavenly Dao held the Jade Plate's fragments, but it ignored his request for one.
• Yang Mei asked Hongjun to lend him the Jade Plate of Creation, but Hongjun refused because he no longer owed Yang Mei a karmic debt.
• Hongjun planned to master a second Origin Great Dao so he could suppress Yang Mei, and Yang Mei's offers of treasures failed to change his mind.

Hongjun began the second Dao lecture at the Purple Firmament Palace, expounding on the Daluo Golden Immortal realm and leaving most listeners unable to keep up. Fuxi reflected on his sister Nuwa’s exceptional origins and the Three Pure Ones’ view that the Ancestral Witches were not part of the Pangu Orthodox Lineage, while Houtu continued listening in confusion.

• The three thousand guests entered the Purple Firmament Palace quietly and took their established seats while Yang Mei waited outside the lecture hall.
• Hongjun announced the start of the second Dao lecture and began teaching from the Daluo Golden Immortal realm without accommodating newcomers.
• Houtu and many other cultivators quickly became confused, while the Three Pure Ones, Nuwa, Zhunti, and Jieyin continued to follow the lecture.
• Fuxi stopped trying to follow Hongjun’s increasingly obscure teaching and saw that Nuwa was still keeping pace.
• Fuxi considered how the Three Pure Ones and other listeners regarded the Ancestral Witches’ Pangu Blood Essence as polluted by Earthly Fiend Turbid Qi, while Houtu did not challenge that view.

Hongjun began his second sermon by teaching the Daluo Golden Immortal realm, while the chapter explained how the Jade Plate of Creation strengthened him and why Yang Mei lacked an Innate Supreme Treasure. It left Yang Mei unable to seize Tai Yi’s Chaos Bell, which the Heavenly Dao would eventually reclaim.

• Hongjun began his second sermon at the Daluo Golden Immortal level, and the guests memorized teachings they could not yet understand.
• Hongjun used the Jade Plate of Creation to aid comprehension during his first sermon, and he was nearing completion of refining it.
• Hongjun’s Jade Plate contained nine complete Origin Great Daos, while Bai Yu’s Mysterious Bright Treasure Bead contained five and Bai Yu had mastered five himself.
• Yang Mei had gathered the fragments of his companion treasure but could not reforge them into an Innate Supreme Treasure, leaving him with only a sixty-forty advantage over Hongjun.
• Yang Mei wanted Tai Yi’s Chaos Bell but dared not take it, and the Heavenly Dao would reclaim it after Tai Yi fell.

Yang Mei reflected on his unequal standing with Hongjun under the Heavenly Dao, while Hongjun completed his second sermon on the Daluo Golden Immortal realm and answered the attendees’ questions. The chapter ended with Hongjun still addressing their cultivation doubts.

• Yang Mei accepted that the Heavenly Dao valued Hongjun far more, granting him greater authority and resources while treating Yang Mei as a less-valued administrator.
• Hongjun concluded the second sermon, having explained the Daluo Golden Immortal realm in detail without revealing the Hunyuan Great Luo Dao or his Method of Slaying Three Corpses.
• Bai Yu considered how much a sermon from an attained Dao cultivator could have helped him before he attained the Dao, and felt fortunate to have cheats.
• Hongjun stayed after the sermon to answer questions, and the attendees each asked one question.
• Hongjun answered all three thousand questions, which concerned problems within the Daluo Golden Immortal realm.

Yang Mei returned to his cultivation grounds after discussing the Dao with Hongjun and focused on comprehending the Time Great Dao, while the Primordial Heavenly Dao’s control over the world and its attitude toward its representatives were explained. The chapter ended by insisting Hongjun was genuinely loyal and had no intention of rebelling against the vastly stronger Heavenly Dao.

• Yang Mei left the Purple Firmament Palace after a hundred years of conversation with Hongjun and returned to cultivation.
• Yang Mei chose to pursue the Time Great Dao and avoided seeking treasures because the Heavenly Dao restricted his access to them.
• Bai Yu was described as stronger than Hongjun and Yang Mei, yet unable to challenge the Primordial Heavenly Dao, which possessed forty-nine complete Origin Great Daos.
• The Primordial Heavenly Dao was said to have appointed Hongjun to manage the Primordial World and could replace him if he proved unqualified.
• Hongjun remained unaware of the Heavenly Dao’s indifference toward him and was portrayed as wholly loyal, with no intention of rebelling.

Hongjun and Yang Mei accepted the Primordial Heavenly Dao’s constraints because escaping to another world offered no reliable path to freedom. Bai Yu reflected on how his overwhelming power and long cultivation had left him without close friends, while his mortal memories still shaped his care for the Myriad Worlds Chat Group.

• Hongjun and Yang Mei chose to accept the Primordial Heavenly Dao’s restrictions because other Great Thousand Worlds would likely impose similar limits.
• Hongjun and Yang Mei believed Bai Yu was also a Heavenly Dao Representative, unaware that he was completely free, and sought to comprehend a second Origin Great Dao like him.
• Bai Yu considered how his status, strength, and focus on cultivation had created distance between him and the Myriad Worlds Chat Group members.
• Bai Yu recalled that his brief mortal life before transmigrating remained deeply important to him despite the millennia he had lived since.
• Bai Yu connected those memories to the care he continued to show the familiar figures in the Myriad Worlds Chat Group.
